This Makes Me So Mad! It Is Idiotic! How Did We Get To This Point?

ONLY In America......

Canada’s version of David Letterman's Top 10. Just makes you wanna shake your head in disbelief.

This is Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity.

Number 10 Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000-per-plate Obama fund-raising event.

Number 9 Only in America could people claim that the government discriminates against black Americans when the President is black, the Attorney General is black, and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black. While only 14% of the population is black, 40+% of all federal entitlements go to black Americans – three times the rate that goes to whites, five times the rate that goes to Hispanics!

Number 8 Only in America could the two people most responsible for the tax code--Timothy Geithner (former head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee)--BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

Number 7 Only in America can terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and the media reacts by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

Number 6 Only America would make people who want to immigrate and become legal American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' becomes an American citizen (probably should be number one).

Number 5 Only in America could people who believe in balancing the budget and abiding by the country's Constitution be thought of as EXTREMISTS.

Number 4 Only in America do people need to present identification to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

Number 3 Only in America could people demand the government investigate the oil companies to see if they are gouging the public because the price of gas went up, when the return on equity invested in a major US oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

Number 2 Only in America could the government collect more taxes than any nation in recorded history, spend a trillion dollars more per year--for a total expenditure of 7 million dollars PER MINUTE--and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.

And Number 1 Only in America could the rich people, who pay 86% of all income taxes, be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

Word For Today

About Me

My name is Brenda. I love Jesus and it's my hope and desire that if you don't already, you will come to love Him, too. He is altogether lovely and always good! He loves you more than you could imagine, and He has great plans for your life. Just ask Him.

After 30+ years of living in Omaha, Nebraska, Country Guy and I returned to our roots in Illinois where we built a house in the woods on land once owned by Country Guy's great grandfather. We added a barn, a chicken house complete with chickens, and fenced pasture for our 5 beautiful quarter horses. We enjoy sharing these blessings with our family, friends, and guests who visit us from all over the world.

Our immediate family includes 3 wonderful children and their spouses, and 7 equally wonderful grandchildren.

I started this blog as a place to keep and to share my favorite things. In the process of discovering the potential of blogging I've also found it to be a great way to get the word out about news & ideas that are unpopular in today's media.

I pray that you, too, will find treasures here to keep, or share with others, and ideas to stimulate your thinking. Nothing would please me more.
